Chris was preceded in death by her husband, Patrick Mooney; her parents; her step-father, William Ellis; her brother, Abe Hartson; her brother-in-law, Terry Mooney; and her sister-in-law, Maureen Hoch.

She was a loving, selfless, and extraordinary woman whose strength, kindness, and unwavering support shaped the lives of everyone around her. Her nurturing spirit, gentle wisdom, and endless capacity for love made her not only a wonderful person but a guiding light and confidant to her family and friends. She led with compassion, gave without hesitation, and taught by example - leaving behind a legacy of warmth, grace, and unconditional love that will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew her.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the dedicated staff of Mercy Medical Center 5th Floor Pulmonary Unit and Hospice House of Mercy for their unwavering compassion, exceptional care, and kindness during her final days.
